SAN ANTONIO EXPRESS: MONDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 9, 1911
SYSTEMATIC SAVING
The cases are rare where men who have con-
tracted extravagant habits in earh life come
to large and permanent success. The plan of
saving a little, however small the salary, is a
prime requisite for the highest success, as it
means a self-restraint which prevents expensive
and dissipating habits.
For their good as well as for our own advan-
tage, we want to get the young people of San
Antonio and vicinity interested in this subject
of systematic saving. Come into the bank or
write us to learn how we can help you to get
ahead financially and be sure to ask for a copy
of our free booklet, "Why You Should Save.'

mer Chief Executive — Woodrow
Wilson Has Accepted Bid
Front Indianapolis.
Special Telegram to.The Express.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Sept. 8,-VVord is
expected within the next few days from
President Taft and Theodore Roosevelt
hs to whether they will attend the fourth
National conservation Congress here on
October 1 to \ Inclusive. Indications are
that both will accept the invitation ex-
tended them by the officers of the con-
gress recently. Announcement lias been
made already that Governor Woodrow
Wilson will be present and this, ii is
believed, will cause both the President
and the Bull Moose candidate for the
presidency to accept.
The question of vital resources, which
will receive especial attention by the
congress here, Is one that has received
much attention from the political parties
In recent years. In the event President
Taft and Colonel Roosevelt are present,
they, together with Governor Wilson,
will be iree to give the country their
own convictions on the subject. While
the congress is In 110 sense of the word
a political organization, yet men who
have always taken a leading part in the
political arena, have attended and par-
ticipated in the meeting.
INSURANCE EXPERTS TO ATTEND.
Word has been received by the local
board of managers that several of the
largest insurance companies will send
their experts to the congress to take
part in the considering of the question
of National vitality. It Is expected that
some definite conclusions will be reached
hs to the contributing causes for the high
death rate in the United States as com-
pared with other countries. Dr. Harvey
W. Wiley, Washington, D. C., has sent
word that he has a "confession of faith"
to make on the subject at the congress.
Dr. Wiley, one of the foremost chemists
In the world, Is chairman of the com-
mittee on food and will deliver an ad-
dress on the opening day.
Special arrangements will be provided
for visiting newspaper men, and more
than fifty of the leading newspapers and
press associations already have accepted
Invitations to send representatives to tho
big meeting.
The work of arranging for the congress
has been In the hands of a local board of
managers, but numerous committees were
appointed this week to take charge of
different features. Every indication
points to the fact that more visitors will
attend than at previous congresses and
preparations have been made to take
care of 20,000.
DELEGATES FROM OLD WORLD.
More th»n 8,Suu delegates have been ap-
pointed already. They are from prac-
tically every civilized country on the
globe. ,,
"We expect the congress this year,
said James 0. Glpe. recording secretary,
"to set not only a new mark for at-
tendance, but for beneficial results to
the country as well. Vital resources Is
a timely topic and one In which every
person Is Interested. I have every reason
to believe that the congress will bo
staged on a more elaborate scale and
at the same time attract mora represen-

FEATS OF STRENGTH.
Pastor Tells Congregation Fight for
Realization of Liberty and Truth
Will Win a Crown, Uufading
and Immortal.
The recent Olympiad at Stockhom was
the theme of the sermon delivered yes-
terday morning by Rev. Frederick
Bowel), pastor of the Madison Square
Presbyterian Church. His subject was;
"Striving for the Mastery, a Wreath of
Bay Leaves or an Incorruptible Crown,
\\ I it h?" The text was taken from 1 Cor.
Ix. 35: "And every man that strlveth
for the mastery is temperate in all
things; now they do it to obtain a cor-
ruptible crown; but we an incorrupt-
ible." Rev. Mr. Bowen said In part as
follows:
"Speaking of applied Christianity, re-
cent events have given a new historic
background to our text, and lo its meta-
phors increased force and significance,
i refer to the modern revival of the
Olympian games. The fifth modern
Olympiad was celebrated at Stockholm
June 2!) to July U last. The entire civi-
lized world watched with intense Inter-
est the representatives of the. principal
nations contesting for the honors.
France, Germany, Great Britain, Swit-
ztrlaiid, Sweden, Holland, Denmark, Aus-
tralia. United States and other nations
were represented. The contests included
■ ■vol v form of gymnastics, fendng,
\vr' iling. Jumping, running, throw,ng
discus, etc., tests of strength, skill and
endurance. What a iiectacle—the
youth and vigor of the nations striving
lor mastery!
"How it must have thrilled the hearts
of those who witnessed the games: Tne
very recital quickens our pulses at this
distance. How It recalls the earlier
.period of the world's history, of 'that
i gior\ that was Greece!'
I "Are you aware thut the Olympiad was
I the most celebrated chronological era in
Grc k history. It was the period of four
years elapsing between the Olympian
games Warfare ceased, heralds an-
iii mi need a sacred armistice, the whole
nation became absorbed 111 the celebra-
tion From the third century, B. C., lo
I the ibird century, A. D., time was com-
puted hy the Olympiads. The name ot
the victor gave tlie name to the year; he
enjoyed many Immunities and possessed
ninny privileges. Paeans (a choral ode)
were composed In his praise and statues
elected in his honor. The stadium, the
iruasure of the footrace, became the com-
mon measure of length. At first the
contests were simple and the reward a
w i eatti of wild olives or Olympian hay.
' but later the games became more elaD-
' orate and the honors greater. The whole
life of Greece was profoundly affneted by
these celebrations.
OLYMPIC GAMES REVIVED.
"At length they were abolished and al-
most forgotten until their revival In
lHSil. Since then they have been cele-
brated iii Athens in lssti. at Paris In 19UU,
at St Louis in l'JIM. at London 111 1908,
nnd at Stockholm in 1912.
"When, on the last day, the successful
contestants marched Into the presence
of Gustav, King of Sweden, the Amerl-
< an athletes were at the head of the pro-
i cssion, and this country Is Justly proud
of its supremacy in the world of ath-
letics. Thorpe, the Indian, the winner
ot the Pentathlon (five-event contest), In
his splendid physical development, equals

voii nil know of the glad welcome ac-
i onlcil I lie victors upon their return to
thi.. counlry. We also extend our warm
congratulations.
• lint what a subject Is presented here
fur ou i consideration and discussion!
What food for thought for the youftl'of
tin world!
'He that striveth for mastery Is tem-
perate in all things.' Striving for mas-
tery! Why, that is the history of man!
It belongs to man. It is his privilege,
and als,. prerogative. Striving for inas-
lorv. First, with eternal nature, and to
bis studies and struggles and achieve-
ments here man is Indebted for his de-
velopment and progress, Striving for
mastery with himself, with hlB passions,
his animal nature, the ceaseless struggles
between inclination, self-interest, moral-
ity, truth, conscience, God. Upon the
issue how much depends! He ascends to
heavenly places or falls Into the abyss.
He becomes a beast or a son of God. It
is not a short footrace; it Is a Mara-
thon. It calls for temperance, strength,
patience, endurance;' it requires faith,
prayer and the grace of God. But this
Is promised in the Scriptures.
"Are you striving for mastery? Are
you temperate In all things? Do you keep
your body under? Never was there such
a call for men to struggle against sin In
all its forms as today. Your attitude,
your actions, your voice and vote deter-
mine the manner of man you are. Men
classify themselves by their speech and
silence on certain subjects,
"Tho cry for a clean city, for a right-
eous government, for the improvement
of the race, for the betterment of condi-
tions In society—does it Interest you?
Have you enlisted or are you apathetic,
critical or cynical of results? In short,
are you a man, striving for mastery, or
only an animal satisfying your appetites
-which? They do It for a corruptible
crown. The laurel wreath soon faded,
so Is It true of much for which men
strive. What Is your ambition? Wealth,
rank, fame, power—these rewards are
fading crowns; they never satisfy. To
this all history attests.
an honest fight wins.
"But if you fight for liberty arid truth;
If you have convictions and strive for
their realization, you shall win a Mara-
thon crown unfading and Immortal.
"Do not forget that even as man's
struggle with nature has developed his
physical and mental nature, not less will
our struggle for truth and right develop
our spiritual nature. The reward is not
external, but Internal and eternal.
"In tho presence of our text I ask In
closing, what is your life, your aim? Are
you content to eat and sleep? In this
only portions of our being are Indulged
and the sanctities slumber which make
it worth while to live. Listen to Paul,
that splendid spiritual athlete: 'I fight!
I run that I may obtain. Forgetting tho
past, I press toward the mark for the
prize of the high calling of God In Christ
Jesus.'
"May God give us victory! May the
Captain of our salvation cry out: 'Well
done'!"

RKV. J. M. CARROLL AT PROSPECT
HILL BAPTIST CHURCH.
"Lessons From the Early Childhood of
Moses" Was His Theme—Pre-
fers a Christian Home to
a Christian School.
Dr. J, M. Carroll of Shawnee, Ukltt., oc-
cupied tin: pulpit of the Prospect Hill
Baptist Church Sunday morning, taking
for his text the first Ion verses of the
second chapter of Kxodus. His theme was
"Lessi us From the Early Childhood of
Moses "
II" said in part:
"All of tln» Hible was given to us for
instruction. We are to Iear>i from every
part of It, from the historical part as well
as the doctrinal part and all the other
parts.
"Moses was born in a very critical time
in the history of Israel. His father and
mother were slaves ami all liU relatives
were slaves, not hy purchase, but by
pressure. The Israelites had gone into
I'gypt nnd had been tin4 means of the
u-ry preservation of the lives of that peo-
ple. but now they were slaves and the de
<ree had gone forth (because of the rapid
Increase of the Israelites) that every male
child born among them should be put to
death. It was during that period that
Moses was born.
"As I see the conditions in the world
today it seems to me that these days are
as crltienl to childhood as were the days
in which Muses was born. I do not know
l'ovv early in lire surroundings and en
j vironments affect our children, possibly hi
] early Infancy. If thai is true, then nos-
' sibly there never was n day in the whole
i history of the world when times were
i more critical for our children than to-
day. We have not the same kind of
I troubles as those which surrounded Moses,
j but we have immorality and perils of al-
I most every sort, and our children are <om-
lug in contact with Ibem from earliest
infancy. It is hard for us to tell how
scon books begin to make an impression
upon children. The world is full of booss,
magazines and papers of all s»»rts and our
people have yet to get a real conception
of what this means lo the rising genera-
tion.
I'lCTCUEH ARK DANOEROI'S.
"Not only books. This is a day of
picture making. You cannot go anywhere
into a home, or into any sort of a build-
ing, that there are not pictures displayed
everywhere. I feel that parents have been
very thiughtless on this line, llow many
boys hrtve I ecu pent to the bad by pic-
tures! Hut I will elaborate on the many
evils that surround oui children today.
They n ine into the world, and immediately
they are within environment of a certain
ix rt, and you and I help to make the
eini roll men t that has to do with the future
11\es of our children.
"one thing that I gather from the story
Is that the best teacher for a child is a
gt illy mother. (»od knew that it was
best M" .Moses to be in the hands of bis
mother. I have been connected with
fdiools a great many years, and have be-
lieved very strongly in boarding schools,
but I say to you that they are only sec-
ond to the home.
"Tho best Christian school I ever saw is
not as good a place for the child as a
Christian home. There lives iot the man
today, nor the woman, that •'•an make iin
presslons upon the young that can the
mother, and no wonder Ood would have
Moses go back into his home,
"Another lessen: Ood is a refuge for
n perplexed parent. Antrum and Jochnbed
loved their child. The awful decree hud
gone forth. Tills father and mother took
the whole matter to Ood. By faith they
hid htm and were not afraid of the King's
command.
"Today he is the same refuge for the
perplexed parent. Again: Kven when in
fear we commit our children to Ood we
should.not discontinue our efforts in their
behalf. After committing their child to
Ood see what these parents did. Hy faith
they gathered the rushes daubed them
with pitch and hid the ark in the river,
covering it over so carefully that tne
crocodiles might not find it. and then ptu
the sister to watch it. All these things
did not show any lack of faith in Ood.
No wonder Ood gave the child back to
them Another lesson: God's care of
children when thus committed to him. He
anchored that nrk. He protected it from
the monsters of the Nile. He kept back
the officers of Pharoah searching high
and low for nil male children, and who
can tell how that child was made to sleep
so quietly, not crying until the right
time. When the (laughter of Pharoah
lifted the lid of that ark then the child
wept, Just in time to touch the mother
heart of that woman. Again: Parental
Mages. When the mother comes Pharoah s
daughter says: 'Take this child and nurse
it, and I will give thee thy wages.' What
a thorght! Parents getting pay for
nursing their own children! It was no
truer then than now. Every child that, we
commit to God Is given back, and he says:
'Take and nurse it for me, nnd I will
give theo wages.' We will get pay. and
our pay will be in accordance with the
teaching we do. Learn this lesson: 'What
you sow that you will reap.'
"Another lesson: The valus of correct
§0ply training. I do not know that the
worid furnishes a better example of early
training than this of Moses. Jochabed
made good use of her time, flhe was
permitted to keep him possibly not more
than five or ten years. When Moses was
carried from that Hebrew home Into the
royal court he was so thoroughly instruct-
ed' In the Hebrew faith that never for
one moment was he turned nslde from it.
That mother thought: 'I must do every-
thing for my child that T can in these
few days T hnve him with me.' Rhe Im-
planted" the faith of the fathers in the
child's heart so firmly that the gods of
Egypt never turned him. Royalty made
no impression on him.
"Mothers and others, let, me give you n
lesson. Our children will soon go out from
»;e, We would not keep them always If
we could. We must lay the foundation
for the future, nnd If we do not lay the
right foundation the probabilities are that
it will never be done Again: The good
we may do In saving Just one boy. Ill
that one boy was wrapped the destinies
of his family, of his tribe and of two na-
tions That hov made the tribe of T.evl
nnd brought his family to the front.
Amrntn nnd Jochabed, unknown before,
will never be forgotten. Some of us will
never be grent unless it be through our
children Another lesson: The work of
women There are three women In th*
lesson a mother, a sister and a princess.
The mightiness of these three women was
In their homes And now I speak with
en re,
NOT AOAINRT EQT'AL SITERAOE
"I have no word against'woman's suf-
frage. I do pot believe any man can
make on argument against It, but the thing
that scares me Is the home. There Is no
i:ln:j on his throne that has the ruling
powe** of the right sort of a woman In
the home. This Nation will go to the bad
when the homes go to the bad. I know
that one »>f the arguments tlint women
make i* that they want to pyotect the
Ionic, but there Is no place where she
can protect her home as well as she can
inside of it. The last thought: What a
I o.v may become in spite of environment.
"Here was a boy born a slave, and be
cause of the decree had to be hidden In
Ids childhood. The boy thnt yields to
his mother as this boy did will succeed.
Young men lift up your heads, be men
of the right sort, have ambitions to be
come great because of being right and
living right.

NONE WERE ABOVE AVERAGE.
"One Can lio Into the Streets and
Pick I p a Thousand Plain Work-
ing men Who Would lie Their
Peers," He Said.
1p the Denver Boulevard Presbyterian
Church lie, Ii. H More.v p.eucbed yes
terday morning upon "Something Hette*
Than the Hest," using as a text the last
verse of the twelfth chapter of 1
Corinthians: "Covet earnestly the best
gifts, and yet show 1 unto you a more
excellent way."
"The apo.tie, he said, "is here contr.i-t
iug the uifts enumerated in the twelW'
chapter with the Christian love which is
unfolded in the thirteenth chapter. Though
one had all of the gifts, if lie did not
have love he would be as sounding brass
or#a tinkling cymbal. The Idea is that
in our equipment for Christian service th
chief requisite the gift that towers luoun
tain high ovci all e'se is Christian love
Is that proposition true? At first blush
I' does not look so. A man might be all
heart and little brain, and it does not
look as If he could be very effective in
that shape. Hut in the department of Ood
kingdom neither his ways nor his thoughts
are ours. When you come to think about
it, It is amazing to recall what great tiling
love i':s accomplished where the rneasut
of hun an brain power was exceedingly
limited.
"Christ's clioi«(. ,-f his disciples, from the
human standpoint, was a preposterous
choice. Not i man among them above
the average. You could g<» out Into the
streets of our city and pick up » thou
sand plain, average working men who, as
far as Intellect and learning go, would be
the peers of Christ's disciples. Yet the
mines of those twelve men have com*?
down to us through nineteen centuries,
nnd are today familiar to more people
than any other twelve names in history
Surely, then, il was not their extraordi
nary gifts of intellect or learning, that
made them famous. It was love- love for
their Master and for a world of sinners
(hit got hold of their modest gifts ami
made their names blaze brighter ami
brighter down the centuries, till today
they ire the most familiar names of an-
cient times on the tongues of men.
W ILL MISS OKNKKAL BOOTH.
"The Christian world is still in mourning
for the death of Ooneral Booth, the head
of the Salvation Army. What was ii that
lifted that plain, ordinary man into a
world-wide fame, and made him a welcome
guest in the palaces of kings and princes'.'
It was his overpowering love for Christ
and the souls of men. Without great
natural or acquired gifts, lie was a power
for practical and spiritual good amoiK
fifty two nations of the earth Such facts
as these are enough to Justify on''
apostle's argument, that without Christian
love all other qualifications for service are
us sounding brass and a tinkling cymbal.
Now, suppose we face this truth bravely
; ml honestly whatever goes down be
fore it
"Take first our precious Christian de
I'ominatlons. mil how much real love is
there lost between them? Not enough to
furnish salt t«> save one poor sinner, to
say nothing of the world.
L*LKNTY OF chmemos.
"A young Presbyterian missionary lately
went ii) into Oregon to flud a field He
landed in a village where there was no
visible sign <>f a church, and that looked
favorable. But after a day's canvass he
found six or seven organized churches
there, and not people enough in the whole
tillage to support more than one. Tins
very fiist phbce for Christian love to show
itself is in a kindly, considerate and
fraternal relationship between Christians
of different names and liveries. Where
( lie church has staked out and filed a
limited claim It Is not even good sense,
to say nothing of Christian fraternity, for
mother church to crowd in. to the Im-
poverishment and hurt <>f the first. That
sort of thing Is nothing less than re
ligioiM poaching. In,my humble opinion,
the executive heads of our various evan-
gelical denominations ought to get to-
gether and establish a law of Christian
comity, which would effectually put a sto-
le sm h unholy, unloUng and really sense
less Jcfetling and crowding.
"Or, again, take our precious creeds, gov-
ernments, methods, modes and rituals
These are the very roots of all our de-
nominaticnal functions. It isn't the Bible
we evangelical people differ over. It isn't
Christ. It Isn't the mission .f the church.
On these great essentials we are pra-*-
tleally a unit. Go into any evangelical
church anywhere, and you will hear in the
main the same truths taught and preached
about the Bible, about Christ and about
the mb&ion of the church What, then,
are we differing about? Why, In our
secret hearts, are we envious one of an
other? Would not our apostle answer
again: i.ove etjvleih not. Love never
falleth. But whether there be creeds, they
shall fall; whether there be governments.

they shall cease; whether there be meth-
» ds, modes and forms, thev shall vanish
aw.iv. <»li! how the love pictured in this
thirteenth chapter. If we would only let
It, would scorch and reduce lo the finest
ashes all of these comparatively foolish
and trilling issues, with which we Chris-
tians have hedged oui>« Ives about.
"The (juestlon goes tho rounds of the
secular press: 'What is the matter with
the modern churchV' May if not be that
in our zeal for sounding brass and tinkling
iinbai we have neglected 'he more ex-
cellent way of Christian love, which I*
the only force that can ever solve the
problems of a tiiumpliant church?
"Hut we must 'covet earnc-tly the best
gifts' the best church, the best creed,
the best rliiTal, etc. W»s, that is what we
nil fancy we are doing. Sometimes w*
covet so earnestly that tlie Catholic ut-
terly repudiates the Protestant as heretic,
and the various Protestant camps re-
pudiate each other, not infrequently stout
Iv refusing to fellowship each other even
lit the breaking of the Lord's bread and
drinking the Lord's cup. Now, by parity
of roan hing, what says our apostle to
all this? 'Though I be a devout Catholic,
or church man, or Methodist, or i'resby
tc-rlan, or what not, and have not Chris-
tian love. I am become as Hounding brass
or a tinkling cymbal.' In all fairness, is
not that what be says? There Is no
escape from it. What then? What must
we do' .Must our several
nominations ill be resolved Into one great
bodv? Will Christian solidarity solve the
problem of the church's great mission
in the world? Woulil to (Jod the prob-
lem wen as simple as that, but It is
hot. Though such a solidarity were un-
der the direction of I'etcr :>< any of In
alleged successors, or under the control
of any council or conference or assembly.
1' would still be only as sounding bras.^
or tinkling cymbal without the overmas-
tering control and nil-embracing power of
Christian love Hut we observe that 'Mir
apostle has no quarrel with the various
gifts which luid been made over to the
church. Thev were all right In theii'
I lace. All they needed to make them of
feet Ive was the accompaniment of love.
So with our several denominations, creed•*,
forms, methods, etc. Cood enough in thei
place ah useful, helpful and scriptural
but effective only as they are united in
the bonds of Christian love and cordial
fellowship. And what about the church'*
rdations to Ihe unchurched masses, to
the laboring classes and to Socialism?
Here Is the (iollath problem of the day.
Can it ever he solved by logic or law
alone? The motive power behind all sin.
violence and crime Is luite Satan's hate.
The motive power behind all righteousness,
justice and mercy is love—God's love.
Keelzebub will never east, out Beelzebub,
our zeal for the religious difference#
among us is all on his side of the great
battle between hate and love If we are
ever to win In this fight we must swing
over to God's side-the side of love, fel-
lowship, brotherhood the more excellent
way. Let that time come and the church
vin no longer be the victim of the world's
mockery and Jesting question: 'What Is
the matter with the modern church?'"

The Wholesome Beverage
Every quality that a good drink should have
—none that it should not have: that's what
you get in
Absolutely pure, wholesome and delicious. Some
of the world's greatest scientists by test and anal-
ysis have proved, this; not just asserted, but
proved. For example
The Famous Dr. Schmiedeberg,
of Berlin, Germany, says
in a deposition sworn to and presented in the courts,
that tea, coffee and Coca-Cola are of similar effect, and
in fact that Coca-Cola is not onlv harmless in every
particular but a more wholesome beverage than either
of the others.
